The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors

[It was a terrible thing for the emperor to be sidelined, but it happened just like that.]
[Do you remember when we reviewed Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty in the last issue, we mentioned some strange things about his successor Zhu Houcong. One of them was that he did not attend court for 20 years.]

Zhu Houzhao: It seems that he has been in office for forty-five years. That is three times the time I have been in office. Damn it! But don't worry, I will try my best to prevent this guy from appearing in your sight again.

[The emperor did not attend court for 20 years, but the country was still able to function normally, and it functioned just fine. Some fans may wonder, if this is the case, what is the point of having an emperor? ]

【This is exactly the problem. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many emperors faced the situation of wrestling with the civil service group for the right to speak. 】
[The chaos during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty and his cousin, which was reviewed in the previous issue, actually had its roots here.]

[He was a good emperor in the palace, but the emperor changed and the ministers were still working normally. The uploader would like to ask, if you were the emperor, would you be afraid? ]

The emperors began to grit their teeth and sharpen their knives.

Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Qiyu: ...

[During this struggle, some emperors compromised, some reconciled, and some were diametrically opposed. However, later on, especially after the cousins ​​Wuzong and Shizong, more and more Ming emperors compromised.]
[This is because the ruling ability of the emperors later on was increasingly inferior to that of their ancestors. If they wanted to keep their throne, they had to rely on these civil servants to support them! ]

【Zhu Qiyu, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, actually rose to power by relying on the civil service group, so he naturally obeyed the orders of the civil service group. Unfortunately, he was eventually abandoned by the civil service group.】

On his deathbed, Zhu Qiyu suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened. He could not help but mutter to himself, "So I was wrong to listen to the opinions of those ministers?"
From beginning to end, there was only one thing he did not listen to the ministers, which was to change the crown prince.

But the fact is that he didn't succeed in this matter!
Zhu Qiyu's face suddenly turned extremely pale!
It turns out he was all wrong!
He trusted them so much, attended court every day, and worked diligently every day, but he was only emperor for eight years, and the prince died young.
However, the younger generation, who had not attended court for twenty years, had engaged in a tit-for-tat debate on ceremony with ministers for several years, yet was the emperor for forty-five years.
He was completely wrong!

[Zhu Yuanzhang ended the prime minister, and as a result, the Ming Dynasty never saw powerful officials usurping the throne again. However, the group formed by the civil officials allowed this small group of people to control the country, and eventually even the emperor wanted to control it. ]
[So, everyone should be able to understand why there were so many factory guards in the Ming Dynasty. ]

[Because if the emperor wants to fight against the civil service group, he must have the power to fight against it, and this power must be in his own hands.]
[When did the Jinyiwei appear? Wasn't it not long before the Hu Weiyong case happened? ]

【In fact, it’s the same principle. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang was picked out again: Blame me! But with me here, why do we need a prime minister? I have always disliked those sour literati, and there is a reason for that! They have too many tricks! It is better to have military generals, they are less troublesome.
Military generals: So we deserve to be careful and be schemed against by you?

[Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen was restored to the throne on the 17th day of the first lunar month. Ming Daizong Zhu Qiuyu was formally deposed on the first day of the second lunar month, and then sent to another palace for house arrest. He died of illness not long after.]
[On the day Zhu Qizhen restored the throne, he sent people to arrest Yu Qian, and eventually executed him for treason. After that, countless ministers were implicated. They were all ministers who were promoted and appointed by Zhu Qiyu during his reign.]

[Fans with good memory should be able to recall that in the previous episode, the up master once said that Zhu Qizhen didn't really want to kill Yu Qian. After all, Yu Qian was an honest official, had a good reputation among the people, and was a hero in the Battle of Beijing. ]
[However, if Zhu Qizhen wanted to be legitimate after regaining the throne through the coup d'etat, he had only one choice, which was to kill Yu Qian. Otherwise, would Zhu Qiyu pass the throne back to him? ]

Zhu Qiyu: This is absolutely impossible!
[Impossible. After this incident, the brothers, who had a good relationship before, have become enemies. After Zhu Qiyu's death, Zhu Qizhen gave him a bad posthumous title. This shows his resentment for Zhu Qiyu taking away his throne.]

At this time, in the back hall, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen had already called his younger brother Zhu Qiyu at the beginning of the Tianjuan. After three episodes of review, not only Zhu Qizhen, but also Zhu Qiyu had a general understanding of what was about to happen in the future.

Although he would never dare to ascend the throne at all now, Tianjuan has made the matter public, which means he must face it.
Moreover, if he is not careful, he might even lose his life.

Now that the final episode had just begun, the emperor summoned him, and he knew he couldn't escape. No matter what, he should give the emperor a satisfactory explanation today.

At the beginning of the Heavenly Scroll, Zhu Qizhen said nothing, and Zhu Qiyu did not dare to speak either, but just watched quietly with his brother. Until this moment, the Heavenly Scroll had finished reviewing the coup, and somehow, he felt like he had breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen suddenly spoke up: "Royal brother, among all the princes, although you and I are not born of the same mother, we grew up together and have always been close."
Zhu Qiyu knew that this was coming, and immediately knelt on the ground: "Brother Emperor, I am willing to die to appease the world's gossips."

"Die?" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him, "Do you think I asked you to come here because I want you to die?"
"Brother Emperor, I am guilty."
Zhu Qiyu still knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

"Mr. Wang is dead." At this moment, Zhu Qizhen suddenly said.
Mr. Wang?
Could it be Wang Zhen?
Zhu Qiyu was stunned and raised his head: "Wang Zhen is dead? Didn't Your Majesty send him back home?"

"Yes, I thought that if I didn't kill him, he wouldn't die, but he died on the road. It was only a few dozen miles away from his hometown, Wei County."
Zhu Qizhen's face showed a complicated expression: "I thought I would be sad, but I was relieved. I wanted to find out who killed him. But later I found that there were too many people who wanted him dead."

"After that, I am just thankful." Zhu Qizhen said, looking at Zhu Qiyu, "Fortunately, everything has not happened yet!"

Nothing has happened yet?
Can we really pretend that nothing has happened yet?
Zhu Qiyu raised his head and looked towards the sky.

[On the other hand, if Zhu Qiyu had better health, more offspring, or had been emperor for a few more years, and had a more ruthless temper, Zhu Qizhen and his children born in Nangong would probably have had a bad ending.]
[Because the Heavenly Family is ruthless! ]

The words "Heaven is ruthless" gave Zhu Qiyu a chill. He immediately lowered his head and knelt on the ground again:
"Your Majesty is merciful, and I will repay you with a token of gratitude. I am willing to go to Xuanfu to be your vassal and guard the country for you. As long as I live, I will never let the Wala Wala invade our Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing Zhu Qiyu's request, Zhu Qizhen looked down at the top of his head and did not speak for a while.

[After all, Zhu Qizhen has been away from government affairs for eight years, and the important officials in the court were all promoted by Zhu Qiyu. Therefore, in this situation, he must cut the Gordian knot quickly, intimidate those ministers as quickly as possible, and consolidate his throne as quickly as possible. ]
[So, on the question of whether to kill Yu Qian or not. He asked, but the answer was always only one - Yu Qian must die!]

[This time, in fact, from another perspective, it was also a victory for the imperial power in the struggle between the civil officials and the emperor.]

Civilian group? Civilian again?
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly.

It seems that he needs to pay attention to this issue.
It would be fine if he didn't know about some hidden dangers, but if he knew about them, he would have to solve them before he could sleep peacefully.

[It can be said that Zhu Qizhen's restoration this time was entirely due to the power of the nobles, military officers, and the Imperial Guards, which caught the civil officials off guard and allowed him to return to power.]
[Let’s now look at the identities of the heroes who helped him ascend to the throne. ]

[The initiator of the coup was Wuqing Hou Shi Heng, who was the Prince's Grand Tutor and the Admiral of the Beijing Camp at the time. In other words, because of his allegiance, Zhu Qizhen had already taken control of all the troops in the capital at the moment the coup began.]

[Another person is the governor Zhang Wei. This person's identity is even more special. He is the third son of Zhang Yu, the favorite general of Emperor Yongle. At that time, his elder brother Zhang Li was the right governor of the Central Army Mansion, whose duty was to protect the palace. ]
[That is to say, most of the palace guards also stood on Zhu Qizhen's side. ]

[In addition, Zhang Wei was also a deputy officer of the Imperial Guard. Under his influence, some of the Imperial Guard also sided with Zhu Qizhen.]

No wonder, no wonder Zhu Qiyu was completely unable to fight back.
Emperor Yongle Zhu Di frowned.

It is true that Zhang Yu was his favorite general, but he died on the way to his rebellion, which made him very regretful.
After the Jingnan Campaign was successful, he was also given more honors. He remembered that the two children were just adults now.

However, I didn’t expect that several years later, these two children would play such an important role in this incident.
He is indeed a son of a general!

[Thus, the three major forces, the military generals group, the nobles group, and the Jinyiwei group that was specifically responsible for protecting the emperor's safety, all stood on the side of Zhu Qizhen, the retired emperor.]

[The uploader has to say that Zhu Qiyu is indeed an unqualified emperor. He has not figured out the art of balancing the emperor after eight years in office. And he is even more confused about the turbulent undercurrents hidden under the surface after he completely relied on the civil service group.]
[It's not unfair that he lost the throne! ]

It’s really not unfair!
Zhu Houzhao snorted, thinking of the bad things he had encountered in the past few years. Fortunately, he managed to get away with it. And those old ministers were not left out either.
Now they are much more obedient, which makes his life more relaxed. He doesn't have to listen to them all day and can do what he wants.

For example, right now he is thinking about how he sent out the second barrage just now.
It seemed like he had just said something and Tianjuan suddenly responded to him, asking him if he wanted to post a barrage.

What did he say?
By the way, he said, "It would be better if I could post barrage again at this moment."
That’s right, that’s the sentence.

Could it be that if he mentioned the word "bullet screen", Tianjuan would respond to him?

He decided to try again. But what should he ask?
He looked down at the drawing in his hand and suddenly had an idea.

【And the death of Yu Qian and those officials who were favored by Zhu Qiyu was also another reckoning of the civil service group by the imperial power.】

[Mr. Yu Qian was a good official, but from the day he assisted Zhu Qiyu to ascend the throne, he should have foreseen that this day might come.]
【So, no one wanted Yu Qian to die, including Zhu Qizhen himself. But he had to die. Because only his death could end an era.】

Zhu Qizhen's later actions are quite remarkable!
Looking at the sky, Qin Shihuang nodded slightly: The coalition can not only be used in the process of unifying the six countries and conquering foreign countries, but also in the imperial strategy of balancing the relationship between ministers.

However, although Zhu Qizhen successfully restored the throne, I hope he will not be deceived again and repeat his first career as emperor.

After Zhu Qizhen's successful restoration, he became much more mature in politics and truly acted like an emperor. He did not fully trust the officials who assisted him in ascending the throne as Zhu Qiyu did.
[Of course, he will not let these people do whatever they want like Wang Zhen did before. ]

[Those who had ulterior motives, such as Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang, were eventually arrested and punished. They served as a model for others.]
[As for the brothers Zhang Li and Zhang Wei, as well as the guard Wu Bin who accompanied him as a hostage in Wala loyally, he gave them high positions and generous salaries, allowing them to enjoy honor and favor for generations.]

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at the three-year-old boy Zhu Qizhen who was practicing calligraphy next to him, he felt a little more relieved.
From this point of view, the ending of his son was not too bad.
At least not so stupid anymore.

Now that Wang Zhen has been eliminated, he will also record the affairs of the Oirat Mongols for his son to study in the future.
More importantly, he had had all the cricket jars thrown away and decided to teach his eldest son personally.

In addition, he decided to live as long as possible so that he could spend more time with his son.
I hope that from now on, his changes will be useful. [After ascending the throne again, Zhu Qizhen's governing style became more stable. Of course, there were also some brilliant ideas, such as building a temple for Wang Zhen and a temple for Yesen.]
[But in the final analysis, was he really doing this on a whim? Did he think there was really nothing wrong with these two people? ]
【of course not. 】

Zhu Zhanji, who was full of confidence just now: ...

[He built a temple for Wang Zhen in order to eliminate people's criticism of Wang Zhen's behavior and weaken his own prestige. He also wanted to stop people from criticizing him for not being able to judge people.]

【The psychological activities reflected in the construction of the temple for Yesen are even more interesting. It is because Zhu Qizhen wanted to whitewash the reason why he was exiled to Wala.】

Whitewash? How to whitewash? We were captured and held in the enemy camp, unable to leave, how to whitewash?
It’s all set in stone, okay?
Is this little brother Zhu Qizhen overthinking?
The emperors of all planes were very curious.

[He probably wanted everyone to think that he was just a guest in a foreign country. Then he wanted to downplay the reason why he was taken to a foreign country. He was covering himself up with a fig leaf. ]

Zhu Zhanji: Cover...a fig leaf?
[Haha, His Majesty the Emperor just went to a foreign country to understand the people's sentiments, he was not abducted! ]

[…What? Someone is plotting to usurp the throne while your Majesty is away!]

[This is too abominable! All traitors and rebels should be killed! ]

[What a pity! A loyal and righteous foreigner was actually sent back to Your Majesty in person! ]

[It's pitiful and lamentable. The fake emperor is so abominable. He tortures His Majesty the Emperor in this way.]

[…What? The fake emperor is dying, and His Majesty is back? God bless our Ming Dynasty, God bless our Ming Dynasty…]

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
Well, why do I feel that the setting of this small theater is very believable?
However, this kind of spirit of self-deception and self-entertainment is something that not everyone can come up with!

It seems that after going to "study abroad in Wala" and returning to "further study in Nangong", this younger brother of Zhu Qizhen has reached a higher level of being an emperor!

[In fact, looking back at Zhu Qizhen, although he is a bit darker, a bit worse, and occasionally a bit off the mark, his overall emotional intelligence and IQ are still very high.]

[For example, he could make the Wala people treat him with respect, and he could also make the Wala people send him back to the Ming Dynasty. And then, in the eighth year of Nangong, he actually found a way to contact the outside world and make the generals and nobles agree to help him.]

[Most importantly, at the critical moment of seizing the palace, he was able to make half of the Jinyiwei guards who were protecting the emperor obey his orders, while the other half turned a blind eye when he was seizing the palace.]
[These magical things are really not something that ordinary people can do. ]

Well, Zhu Zhanji, who had just seen his son become silly again and wanted to open his brain to see if it was filled with water, now looked at this kid again and suddenly felt that this son was somewhat pleasing to the eye again.

But since he actually used this method to cover up his shame, it seems like he will have to give him a good beating to teach him a lesson.

[Even in adversity, he was able to find ways to get out of trouble, and in the end, he not only got out of trouble, but also turned the tide. ]
[This is something that many modern thriller and revenge novels cannot write! ]

[However, it is a pity that if someone had taught him to be close to virtuous officials and stay away from villains when he first ascended the throne, and to learn to distinguish right from wrong, instead of being lured and lured by treacherous villains, perhaps he could have achieved something like his father, grandfather, and Taizu! ]

【Perhaps Yu Qian will not die.】

[To put it bluntly, he was not well educated since childhood. He even built a temple for the invader Yesen and the treacherous minister Wang Zhen. These two things alone will nail him to the pillar of shame forever! ]

Zhu Zhanji decided to give his son another beating.

[It's a pity that there are no ifs in history. I'm sure that in his last days, Emperor Yingzong of Ming would have felt sorry for wasting two-thirds of his life because of his youthful recklessness.]

Wasted two-thirds of my life? Will I be nailed to the pillar of shame forever?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhen was shocked.
At this moment, he seemed to have figured something out.

The Heavenly Scroll allowed him to see these things, not to let him feel sorry for himself or blame others for them.

As I just said, hasn't everything happened yet?
In other words, if he behaved well as an emperor from now on, he would be a brand new Emperor Yingzong of Ming.

This is a warning from the Heavenly Scroll to him. It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty and the people!
He looked at Zhu Qiyu and nodded: "Okay, I agree to your request and let you go to Xuanfu Town. As early as the time of Taizu, there were nine frontier kings who guarded the frontiers for our Ming Dynasty and expanded the territory.
We are still young, so I will stay in the imperial city and wait for my brother to make more military achievements for the Ming Dynasty. I believe my brother will not let me down. "

"Yes, I obey your command!"
Zhu Qizhen's words made Zhu Qiyu's blood boil, and he immediately responded loudly.

[Speaking of this, this video has come to an end. But the up master remembered an interesting story about Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty. ]

[It is said that during the time when Zhu Qizhen was detained by the Oirat, he had already become close friends with Yesen's younger brother, Bayan Temur, and he even often went to the latter's tent to drink.]

[It is also said that after seeing off Emperor Yingzong of Ming, Yesen led the soldiers to kneel three times and kowtow nine times in the direction he was leaving to see him off.]

[The up master thinks that this should not only be due to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but also because of the personal charm of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. I really want to know how he did it. ]

At this moment, a barrage of white text suddenly appeared in the scroll.
【@Return to the true system after learning: There is no other way, just open your heart and you will get it! 】

Lei Xiaomeng was stunned when he saw this comment.
She seemed to have never seen this ID before, and it seemed that she had never left a comment under her video.

Is this... a new fan?
There is also this ID, "Returning to the true throne after completing studies." This fan must be interpreting Zhu Qizhen after the restoration.

It's interesting that so many people played the same emperor. It seems that there is a reason why Zhu Qizhen got so many votes!
Besides, new fans must support her. So she immediately liked this comment.

However, it is just a like for new fans.
He is so open-hearted. When the mountains and rivers of the motherland are invaded by the little life, what is the difference between making friends with the little life?
Fortunately, his rule after the restoration was only "stable", and fortunately, the last part of his life lasted only eight years!
In a certain dimension, Zhu Qizhen, who had indeed successfully restored the throne, looked at his message on the heavenly scroll and nodded with satisfaction.

Then, a female voice was heard from the Heavenly Scroll:
[The bullet screen has been sent. The points will be deducted from your future points income according to the agreement. Your current points balance is negative ten points. Thank you for your use and I hope you enjoy watching. ]

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said politely: "Thank you!"

He had wanted to post a comment before, but he was always told that he didn't have enough points. This time, he also wanted to give it a try and discussed it with the female voice in the same volume.
He asked her if it was okay to post the comments first and then add more when she had points.

Although Tianjuan remained silent at first, he did not refuse. Then he said that he would pay double the amount later, and the female voice actually agreed, so he sent out the barrage.

As a result, as soon as the barrage was posted, he saw the pattern of "+1" or "+0.5" constantly displayed after his speech.

The sky scroll also kept broadcasting:
【Apozhu likes this and the points will be increased by one. 】

[@Super IQ, a serious patient with chuunibyou agrees with your opinion, and your score is increased by one. ]

[@子控凶残老父 agrees with your opinion, and the points are increased by 0.5. ]

Etc., etc……

He did some mental calculations based on the voice prompts and found that he had received a huge amount of six-tenths, which meant that he had recovered six-tenths of his debt in an instant.

So, in the blink of an eye, he went from owing ten points to owing four points.

The sudden pop-up of his bullet comment made Zhu Houzhao stunned. Fortunately, he reacted in time and immediately said to Tianjuan: "I want to post a bullet comment!"
I hope his guess is correct, and I hope the two words "bullet screen" are the key for him to open the message.

As it turns out, he was right.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice from the Heavenly Scroll rang out:

[Received. Your Majesty, please say the barrage you want to send after the "beep". 】
【Di-】
